IMPROVEMENT IN HAMMERS.

Specilication forming part of Letters lPatent No. 49,898, dated September 12,1865.

' To all whom it may concern:

.State et' Massachusetts, have invented new and useful improvements in an article for domestic use, consisting' of a screw-driver and stove-cover taken at one end, and a tack-hammer, nail-hook, carpet-stretcher, tack-puller, and two wrenches at the other end, and these two ends connected by a suitable handle; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full and exact description ot' the same, reference beingI had to the accompanying drawings, for1nin g a part of this specication, in which- Figure lis a plan vie\v,looking upon the iiat surface of the hammer-face C and various other parts; Fig. 2, a side view of the same.

Letter A represents the screw-driver; B, stove-cover; C, face of the hammer; D, the claws ofthe hammer or nail-hook; E, carpetstretcher and tack-puller; F, the handle; G, a wrench; A, another small wrench.

The nature of my invention consists in the arrangement and combination of parts.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will describe its construction and mode of operation.

I make the screw-driver of steel, the other parts of malleable iron. Its use will be readily comprehended by the drawings, my intention being in making it a stove-cover taker to have it always at hand in the kitchen, so the person doing the work about the house shall always be provided with a small hammer, a screwdriver, a carpet-stretcher and tack-puller, nail-hook to draw nails with, and also two small wrenches, which combined must be ot' great use in taking down and putting up window-curtains, laying down carpets, and doing many other things about the house, also valuable for many mechanical purposes of various descriptions.

I claim- The within described implement, constructed substantially as described, as a new article of manufacture.
